I still would prefer to avoid the use of that particular word -- misogyny means
hatred of women, something that I don't feel is backed up by the evidence. (I write for a living, so I'm fussy about precise meanings at times.)
And yes, Rob is correct; in traditional Christian theology, angels are sexless. That said, the forms they take on Earth certainly can appear to have a sex (and Matthias makes a good point about personal, non-animal beings
not being an "it" -- it'd be nice to have some of Angelic's grammar at times, wouldn't it?)
